Abstract:Locally resonant acoustic/elastic metamaterials have been the focus of extensive research efforts in recent years due to their attractive dynamical characteristics, such as the possibility of exhibiting subwavelength bandgaps. In this work, we present rigorous formulations for the treatment of damping (e.g., viscous/viscoelastic) and nonlinearity (e.g., geometric/material) in the analysis of elastic wave propagation in elastic metamaterials. In the damping case, we use a generalized form of Bloch's theorem to … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
